About Arzana
Arzana trains custom models on manufacturers' operational data to automate their quoting, order entry, invoicing, and other repetitive office work. We've saved our customers over $1.5M in avoided staff costs. In the future, we'll expand into shop-floor automation, sending instructions to machinery and robots to produce the orders that our office agents processed. By 2035, we aim to fully automate 10,000 American factories.
